This pistol-packing 80-year-old was attacked by home intruders — who immediately regretted it

80-year-old Tom Greer of Long Beach California arrived home Tuesday night to find a couple robbing his house. A man and a woman were rummaging through his things, including a safe. The robbers attacked Greer when he went inside.

“When I went in there, they tackled me,” Greer told NBC4. “Both of them jumped up on top of me,” bringing him to the ground, Greer said.

What the intruders didn’t know is that Greer had a .22-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver.

“I come back and they see me with a gun, and they run,” he said.

Now here’s where things get really tricky:
The perpetrators began to flee the scene when the woman begged “Don’t shoot me, I’m pregnant! I’m going to have a baby!”
